The movie is about a restless photographer, portrayed by María, who leaves her family to "find herself" and takes up deep-sea diving.
Since The Nightingale is based on a 2015 novel by Kristin Hannah, I took a quick look at it for any potential nude scenes. There’s quite a few opportunities, but it all depends on how closely the script follows the novel.
The story follows the lives of two sisters living in France at the onset of World War II. Dakota portrays Vianne, whose husband, joins the French army and Elle will star in the role of Vianne’s sister Isabelle, a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, who joins the Resistance after Germans invade France.
Here are some paragraphs from the novel that might be of interest:
“Isabelle faced forward in her seat again. Out her window, a young woman stared back at her, wild eyes,hair a bird’s nest, an infant suckling on her breast.”
A possibility of a nude scene through a flashback
“Later, she couldn’t remember them moving into the house, climbing the stairs, lying down in bed, undressing each other. She remembered only being naked in his arms, lying beneath him as he made love to her in a way he never had before, with frantic, searching kisses and hands that seemed to want to tear her apart even as they held her together.”
I won’t go into details, trying to save her family, a forced nude scene by a German soldier… at least a couple of times
Sex scene with her husband
Their kiss was sad, an apology almost, a reminder of what they’d once shared. She trembled as he
undressed her. She saw the red marks that crisscrossed his back and torso, and the jagged, angry,
puckering scars that ran the length of his left arm.
bath time
“While Vianne heated water and filled the bath, Isabelle sat on the floor, her legs splayed out, her feet discolored by blood, muttering to herself and wiping tears from her eyes, which turned to mud on her cheeks.
When the bath was ready, Vianne returned to Isabelle, gently undressing her. Isabelle was like a child,pliable, whimpering in pain.
Vianne unbuttoned the back of Isabelle’s once-red dress and peeled it away, afraid that the slightest breath might topple her sister over. Isabelle’s lacy undergarments were stained in places with blood. Vianne unlaced the corseted midsection of the foundation and eased it off. Isabelle gritted her teeth and stepped into the tub.”
undressing
"Isabelle closed the door on her memories and moved the armoire back in place. She undressed quickly and slipped into a pink silk dressing gown that reminded her of her maman."
captured
"She was seated, still bound at the ankles and wrists. Naked. She closed her eyes, sickened by the image of him undressing her, touching her when she was unconscious."
There are probably some other scenes that I missed. Not that it matters, but one that wasn’t hard to miss was a mention of a breast pocket, five times…
That’s about The Nightingale which is scheduled to be released around Christmas this year.
Back to María Valverde, here are two nude scenes from Plonger. She was nude in several other movies. You can check those out at
